Everyone got into a defensive stance as Nappa powered up, a yellow hue of aura surrounded the Saiyan. "It's time... I won't take any prisoners!"

With quick speed, he rushed towards the fighters, going straight for Tien. Nappa cocked back his fist strike as Tien tried to block.

"Tien! Get away!" yelled Piccolo, but it was too late. As Nappa's fist came in contact with Tien's hand, he punched it clean off.

Tien yelled in pain as he clutched his left arm. "Hehe, such a weakling!" spoke Vegeta.

Before Nappa could strike him again, Tien jumped in the air to create a distance, but Nappa was behind him as he kicked him back to the ground.

Krillin tried to rush towards Nappa, but you held him back. "Don't! You'll get yourself killed"

Nappa then looked towards Krillin, annoyance filled his face as he launched another attack.

You grabbed Krillin and flew away a few yards before a giant crater appeared in front of you both.

"Guys, where's Chiaotzu?!" Questioned Tien. Looking around, you see him going behind Nappa. "Nappa, behind you!" Yelled Vegeta as Chiaotzu clung himself behind Nappa.

"Chiaotzu! What are you doing?! Get away!" Tien's eyes widened when he heard his friend's voice.

"Have a good life, Tien... I'll take care of him" Before you know it, he blows himself up, sacrificing himself to try and kill Nappa.

Everyone's eyes widened as their friend was now gone. As the smoke cleared up, you see Nappa with a smirk on his face.

"Hehe, that tickled..." Tien knew that his life was already restored once, meaning that he can't come back to life.

"Great plan, Nappa," said Vegeta. "Just wait till Goku gets here," said Piccolo. "Oh? Is he your secret weapon?"

Before Piccolo could speak, Nappa rushed towards him and Tien. "Now!" yelled Piccolo as you vanished with him and elbowed Nappa in the face.

He felt Piccolo hurt him a bit, but your attack made him feel more pain. He sent flying towards Krillin as he spiked him to the ground. Gohan was too afraid to attack him.

Piccolo and Krillin fired a blast at Nappa, but he narrowly dodged it. Before Nappa could attack, you appeared in front of him, cocked back your knee and slammed it against his face.

He was sent flying into multiple mountains, destroying them as his body collided with them.

A few moments have passed before Nappa stumbled out of the mountains; blood ran down his face from your attack. "Y-you think you could get away with t-that...?"

Before you could attack him again, Tien fired a blast with all his might at Nappa, but it didn't even phase him.

Tien collapsed on the ground; he knew that he failed everyone.

"Goku!!! Hurry!!!" Krillin yelled. Vegeta chuckled, seeing that the fighters were going down one by one.

He finally saw your strength that you were able to send Nappa flying. His heart started to beat faster.

"T-this can't be happening... one after another... dying" Muttered Krillin, still in disbelief that his friends were starting to die off.

"Now it's your turn. I'll let the namekian named Piccolo live. He needs to tell us more about the dragon balls"

He then turned to you, seeing you have your arms crossed against your chest.

"And you! You're next!" Before he could charge towards you, he halted when he heard his name being yelled. Turning around, he saw Vegeta with a dark look.

"What did I just say? Leave Nemui alone..." Vegeta spoke in a cold tone. You raised your eyebrow as Nappa flew away from you.

'What is wrong with him...? Why does he want me alone? Great, now he knows my name...'

"I think me and you can handle this, Krillin"

"So much for confidence, Piccolo. D'you think we can win this?" He questioned. He then thought of an idea, seeing a different strategy for the fight.

"We have to fight him on the ground! He's too accustomed to aerial combat" Krillin nodded as the two descended down to the ground.

As they set foot on the ground, Nappa rushed towards them as they had their backs towards him. "Dad!!" Before Nappa could strike, he stopped at the voice of Vegeta.

"Nappa, wait!" As he stopped, confusion formed on everyone's faces as they waited for what Vegeta had to say.

"What is it now, Vegeta?!" he questioned. He started to feel annoyed at his interruptions.

"I want to ask them something," he spoke as he turned to the fighters. "This 'Goku' you keep mentioning is Kakarot, right?"

Krillin swallowed the lump in his throat before he nodded. "Yeah, so what?" The comment made Vegeta chuckle.

"What good will he do if he wasn't even a match for Raditz?" he spoke in a mocking tone. "He's different now! He'll be more powerful than before!" yelled Krillin.

"Hmmm... alright, we'll wait until he comes. We'll wait three hours, no more than that" Nappa was pissed that he didn't get to fight more.

You sighed as the two kept yelling at each other, you began to think that if Nappa kept getting carried away, he would kill him. "Three hours, enjoy them while you still can"

As you descend to the ground, you hear Vegeta calling your name. You sighed as he told you to come here.

Walking towards him, his height reached up to your upper arm level. A smirk fell on his face.

"Why didn't you want Nappa to fight me?" you spoke in a tired tone. Vegeta chuckled before he spoke.

"Your fight will be with me. Nappa would have gotten himself killed. Even though we can't sense your power, I know you're way powerful than Nappa"

"So I can fight him... but he can't?" you questioned, earning a nod from him. The answer made you hummed at him, seeing that he was studying you as the others fought Nappa.

He then began to study your appearance, seeing that you had a black, long sleeve compression shirt that hugged your body.

As he continued to look, he saw that you look just as described like Kakarot. But he saw the dark circles under your eyes. He also liked the purple earring you had on your left ear.

He heard the snap of your fingers, taking him out of the trance. You slightly scrunched up your face, feeling his eyes like a spotlight.

You sighed before you walked away, meeting up with the others. "What was all that, Vegeta?" Nappa's voice spoke out.

"I find him interesting. I want to see if he's more powerful than Kakarot" the feeling from before came back to him.

"Damn... what's going on? Did he really come back to life?!" Spoke Krillin, he really hoped his best friend was on his way here.

'Please Goku! You need to hurry!' Thought Krillin.

You really hoped that he was on his way, seeing that if he doesn't get here in time, all of his friends would be dead.

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

Three long, agonizing hours have passed. Still no sign of Goku.

"Three hours... wasted. That traitor is a coward" spoke Vegeta as he took off his scouter. "M-my dad's not a coward!"

"Then where is he?!" Nappa cracked his knuckle, ready for the second round. "We have one last chance..." spoke Piccolo. As you began to think, an idea popped up.

"Guys, we need to go for the tail, that's their weakness. They'll become powerless"

Piccolo smirked at your plan. "Great thinking, Nemui. I'll go for the tail while you three strike him with everything you have"

You all nodded as you turned to Nappa. You stayed behind the three, just in case someone might pull a sneak attack from behind.

The atmosphere felt heavy and tense. Gohan could hear his heartbeat in his ear.

'Be strong, Gohan. Put your mind to it. I know you have the power in you to do it' you thought to yourself.

As a few moments passed, Krillin was the first to move, causing Nappa to go into a defensive stance.

Krillin fired a blast to the ground, creating a gust of smoke that surrounded the area. Nappa halted when he felt someone grab him. He elbowed the person on the head, seeing that it was Piccolo.

He chuckled lowly before making his way towards Gohan. "I can't believe Kakarot would leave his son here to die. Poor boy"

Before he could strike him, you elbowed him in the face, making him go flying a few feet away. Before he could recover, he was kicked in the stomach, causing spit to flow out of his mouth.

Putting your fists together, you spike him into the ground, creating a huge dent in the ground.

He stumbled his way up from the ground and rushed towards you, but he stopped, already forgetting what Vegeta said to him.

'Leave him alone'

The words echoed in his head before a devastating punch landed on his face by you.

Krillin decided to jump in and kicked him away. Nappa charged and threw a punch, but Krillin dodged as he flipped out of the way.

Krillin raised his hand, creating a circle of ki that levitated above his hand. "Destructo Disk!"

With all his might, he threw it towards Nappa. He tried to be cocky as he stood there, seeing if projectile could damage him.

"Nappa, get down!" Vegeta yelled as Nappa barely ducked as the projectile cut his cheek. In the background, you could see the projectile cutting the top of a mountain clean off.

"You little...! You cut me!" he raised his hand with anger as he charged up a big ki blast and threw it at Krillin.

You appeared in front of Krillin and smacked the ki blast back, sending it back as it hit Nappa right in the face.

"Damn you!" before he could do anything, you felt a tremendous power approaching the area. Everyone else started to feel it as well. "At last... it's him"

"It's dad! My dad is here!" spoke Gohan with excitement. Vegeta quickly put on his scouter, finding the energy that was heading towards them.

His eyes widened when he found it. "I don't know if it's him... but he'll be here in four minutes"

"With a power of 5000!"

The number shocked Nappa. "That's impossible! It has to be a mistake..." The comment made you and Piccolo chuckle, seeing that Nappa was starting to get scared.

"Nappa! Kill them now! With their help, they could actually defeat us!" Piccolo and Gohan's eyes widen at Vegeta.

"I've never believed in the legend of the dragon balls... but if Kakarot really did come back to life, then there must be more of them on this planet!"

Anger started to rise in Gohan's body, he needed to do something. "Piccolo! Nemui! I'll handle them off! You guys need to run!"

"So, the little lad's going to hold me off...? Don't make me laugh!" He rushed his way towards Gohan.

As his anger was rising, he rushed towards Nappa, landing a kick right in his jaw, sending him flying into a random mountain.

A few moments have passed before Nappa emerged from the mountain. He was furious, he was covered in cuts and bruises as blood dripped down his face.

"Now... I've had enough!!!" He cocked back his hand, charging a devastating ki blast. Electricity surrounded the ki and he launched it towards Gohan.

"DIE!!!"

Gohan froze when the massive ki blast was coming closer and closer.

Before it could make contact, Piccolo appeared in front of Gohan, spreading his legs and arms to block the blast.

Everyone was in shock as Piccolo sacrificed himself to save Gohan. Deep down, he cared about him. This past year, he grew a liking towards him. As the brightness from the blast went away,

Piccolo was still standing, his Gi was ripped from the blast as he struggled to stand. "G-gohan... r-run now..." he then collapsed to the ground. You and Gohan rushed towards him.

"Piccolo, wait! My dad's on his way! He could help you!" he spoke as tears started to pour down his eyes. "I... told you to run... h-hurry" he then looked at you.

"Nemui...please take care of him... please get him out of here... please don't die" his body then laid limp on the ground.

"NOOO!!"

Anger boiled in Gohan as he raised his hands together. You charged up a blast to help Gohan. Vegeta tried to scan Gohan's power, but since you were right next to him, it was starting to glitch.

"Damn it..." As your blast combined with Gohan's, it made contact with Nappa, hearing a cry in pain. As the smoke cleared up, Nappa's stunned body laid on the ground.

Vegeta was in shock at the power that was held within you. He then looked towards you and felt his body freeze.

Your face was covered in a dark shadow. Cold, black eyes stared at him, a shiver went down his spine as he started to sweat.

Before you could attack him next, you see the familiar cloud approach you. "He's here..." you spoke lowly as the shadow on your face disappeared.

"M-my dads here!"

Goku stood next to you, a serious expression formed on his face as he looked at Nappa, struggling to get up. The blast that you and Gohan fired did so much.

Nappa flinched when he saw you two side by side. He could feel both of your anger flow out, feeling that he made a terrible mistake.

Goku turned towards you, a smirk forming on his face. "Are you feeling alright, Nemui?"

The question made you nod before you spoke. "Yeah... but the others, not so well" He hummed at your answer.

"I know, but I'm glad that you protected my son and fought well" He then looked at Nappa.

"Since he's nearly dead, I'll finish him off, ok?" you nodded as you stepped back and went to comfort Gohan.

You then felt his hand grab your arm as you felt him whisper in your ear. "Thank you, Nemui" he gently placed his lips on your cheek, causing you to freeze as a small pink tint formed on your face.

Goku innocently chuckled before walking towards Nappa as his face now had a serious expression on it.

You made your way towards Gohan and Krillin; your resting face still had a pink tint as you picked them up off the ground and flew a few yards away.

You three watched as Goku started to fight Nappa. He began to charge up, feeling his ki rise, causing Vegeta's scouter to beep at high speed.

Vegeta was getting annoyed, he took off his scouter. "It's over 9000!" As he yelled in frustration, he crushed his scouter with his hand, now knowing that Nappa is no match for Goku.

Goku appeared in front of him and landed a punch to his stomach. "That was for Chiaotzu!"

He dodged the incoming kick from Nappa and punched him away, making him go flying. "That was for Yamcha!" Nappa flew up as his anger started to boil.

"You bastard!" He fired a huge ki blast at Goku, but he stood there and blew it away with his ki, causing Nappa and Vegeta's eyes to widen.

Goku vanished and appeared behind Nappa. "This one's for Tien!" putting his fists together, he spiked Nappa.

Before he could hit the ground, Goku rushed towards him, kicking him to the mountains. "And this is for Piccolo!" As Nappa collided with the mountains, he raised up. He was pissed.

"Damn you! Damn you!!" he started to power up, the light-yellow aura surrounded him once more as he charged towards Goku.

He threw out punches and kicks at incredible speed, but Goku was faster. He dodged every single one before he vanished and reappeared a few feet away from him.

They took their fight to the sky, exchanging blows with determination and anger.

"That was better!" spoke Goku as he taunted Nappa. "I'll make you eat those words, Kakarot!"

Nappa opened his mouth as he started to charge ki from his mouth, making Goku's eyes widen. As Nappa fired the blast, Goku deflected it.

Nappa couldn't believe his eyes, that was his ultimate technique, and Goku just deflected it like it was nothing.

Veins started to pulse out, his body began to shake with hatred.

Vegeta yelled at him to come down, seeing that he was having trouble with Goku. Nappa was getting sick and tired of being told what to do. An evil smile formed on his face as he rushed towards you with Gohan and Krillin.

As he came closer, you kicked him straight on the bottom jaw, making him go flying in the air. You then see Goku surrounded by a red aura.

"Kiao-ken!!!"

He rushed his way to Nappa, slamming his body with quick speed and force. Before Nappa could hit the ground, you caught him with one hand, throwing his body that twitched in pain in front of Vegeta like worthless trash.

"He won't be fighting anymore..." spoke Goku.

Vegeta started to sweat, seeing how Goku had gotten powerful in an instant.

'What...? His power and speed multiplied!!'
